llvm dev - Aug 2008 - [LLVMdev] wrong guessed OS platform

Hi,

http://llvm.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=clang

thinks that I am running on a PC with OS of "all".



My user agent string on my browser is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_5; en-us) AppleWebKit/ 
526.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0dp1 Safari/526.11.2



Isn't that enough to know that this is Mac OS X running version 10.5.5 ?


:-)


Thanks,
Dan

I don't think it _tries_ to detect your OS, does it?

Yes, it does... note at the bottom: "We've made a guess at your
operating system and platform. Please check them and, if we got it
wrong, email llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu." That said, I don't really know
much
about how this works.
